efficiency of engine is 40%,at sink temperature is 27 degree celsius.if increase 10% efficiency,how much source temperature ?

Answer»

Engine in Thermodynamics:efficiency η = 40%T₁ = 27 degC = 300 °K  = heat sink temperature T₂ = ? = temperature of the heat source  40 % = η = 1 - T₁ / T₂ = 1 - 300 / T₂     T₂ = 300 / 0.60  = 500 °K =  227 °C If the efficiency is increased by 10% to 50 %   Then    1 -  T₁ / T₂ = η = 0.50               T₂  = 2  T₁  = 600 °K  =  327 °CThus the temperature of the source is to be increased by 100 °C  to INCREASE the efficiency by 10 %  for an ideal Carnot MACHINE.
